Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to an optical device, and more particularly to an optical sight.
- FIG. 1 shows a conventional optical sight 100 including a barrel 110 , on which a focusing adjuster 120 and a brightness adjuster 130 are provided, to provide a clearly view of an object when the user aims the optical sight 100 at the object.
- the focusing adjuster 120 and the brightness adjuster 130 are provided at different positions of the barrel 110 that the user has to shift his/her hand between the focusing adjuster 120 and the brightness adjuster 130 for several times to operate them repeatedly before the user may get a clear view of the object through the optical sight 100 .
- the user looks at the optical sight 100 by one eye and keeps the other eye open to pay attention to other stuffs around.
- the optical sight 100 may block the view of the eye that the user could aware of the accident immediately when he/she is aiming through the optical sight 100 .
- the conventional optical sight 100 still has some drawbacks to be improved.
- the primary objective of the present invention is to provide an optical sight, which has the focusing adjuster and the brightness adjuster at the same position.
- the present invention provides an optical sight including a barrel; a lens assembly received in the barrel; a lens with a cross received in the barrel; a light emitting device received in the barrel to emit light to the lens to light the cross up; a focusing adjuster, which is provided at the barrel, including a focusing knob rotating along a center of rotation to move at least a lens of the lens assembly along an optical axis for focusing when the focusing knob is turned; a brightness adjuster, which is provided at the barrel, including a brightness knob rotating along the center of rotation to change a luminance of the light emitting device when the brightness knob is turned; and a power source electrically connected to light emitting device through the brightness adjuster.
- the present invention further provides an optical sight including a barrel; a lens assembly received in the barrel; a lens with a cross received in the barrel; a light emitting device received in the barrel to emit light to the lens to light the cross up; a focusing adjuster, which is provided at the barrel, including a focusing knob rotating along a first center of rotation to move at least a lens of the lens assembly along an optical axis for focusing when the focusing knob is turned; a brightness adjuster, which is provided at the barrel, including a brightness knob rotating along a second center of rotation to change a luminance of the light emitting device when the brightness knob is turned; and a power source electrically connected to light emitting device through the brightness adjuster.

- the first base 12 is fixed to the body 11 by bolts 60 .
- the axle 511 of the frame 51 is inserted into the first base 12 through the opening 111 of the body 11 .
- the first base 12 further has a bore 121 on a sidewall thereof.
- the second base 13 is fixed to the first base 12 by bolts 61 .
- An O ring 14 is provided between the first base 12 and the second base 13 to protect the second base 13 .
- the focusing adjuster 20 includes a focusing cam 21 , and a focusing knob 22 .
- the focusing cam 21 is received in the first base 12 .
- the focusing cam 21 has a side 211 facing the body 11 and has a slot 212 on the side 211 to be engaged with the axle 511 of the frame 51 .
- the slot 212 is curved and has an end proximal to a center of the side 211 and the other end distal to the center thereof.
- the focusing knob 22 is provided on an outer side of the first base 12 to be turned along an axle.
- the focusing knob 22 has a shaft 23 passing through the bore 121 of the first base 12 to connect the focusing cam 21 that the frame 51 may be moved by turning the knob 50 through the shaft 23 moves along the slot 212 .
- the frame 51 carrying the lenses 54 is moved along an optical axis of the lenses 54 for focusing.
- the brightness adjuster 30 includes a section elastic member 31 , a main circuit board 31 , a brightness knob 33 , and a brightness control circuit board 34 .
- the section elastic member 31 is provided on the main circuit board 32 .
- the main circuit board 32 has three pads 321 to be connected to the light emitting device 53 through a flexible printed circuit board 35 .
- the section elastic member 31 and the main circuit board 32 are fixed to the second base 13 by bolts 62 .
- the brightness knob 33 is provided on an outer side of the second base 13 .
- the brightness knob 33 and the focusing knob 22 are turned along the same shaft.
- the section elastic member 31 is engaged with an inner side of the brightness knob 33 that the section elastic member 31 may stop the brightness knob 33 at predetermined positions and sound clicks remind the user.
- the section elastic member 31 is a well known art, so we do not describe the detail here.

- User may turn the brightness knob 33 to turn the brightness control circuit board 34 . It may change the resistance between the power source 40 and the light emitting device 53 through the pads contacting with different resistors to adjust the luminance of the light emitting device 53 . It may provide several LEDs to emit different color lights to the lens 52 . User may choose a suitable color light according to the background of the object that user may see the object more clearly through the optical sight 1 of the present invention.
- FIG. 6 shows an optical sight 2 of the second preferred embodiment of the present invention, which is similar to the first preferred embodiment, except that a focusing adjuster 70 has a focusing knob 71 , which is turned along a first center of rotation, and a brightness adjuster 80 has a brightness knob 81 , which is turned along a second center of rotation.
- the focusing knob 71 and the brightness knob 81 are independent that user may turn focusing knob 71 and the brightness knob 81 respectively to adjust the focusing and brightness.
- An alternate design of the focusing adjuster and the brightness adjuster is that the brightness adjuster is more proximal to the body than the focusing adjuster.
- the brightness adjuster 30 may provide a variable resistor to change the resistance to provide a stepless control of the luminance of the LED.
- the first base 12 and the second base 13 may be made into a single element, and furthermore, the body 11 , the first base 12 and the second base 13 may be made into a single element.
